[tokiohoteluk]

Okay, I don't think anyone else going to the Parc des Princes concert picked up on this. It was posted on the official PDP site:

________________________________
translation:

- it is STRICTLY forbidden to sleep at the venue (not even for one night)
- the waiting line will be organized 21th of june to Avenue du Général Sarrail
- other waiting lines are not allowed (i guess they mean fans can't make their own lines near to the "official" line nor anywhere else)
- the security of PDP and french police will take care of the security in the line. things organized by fans are not allowed (meaning giving out numbers or tickets or something)
- binoculars (little size) are allowed on the seated places
- seated places don't give the acces to standing places and other way around.
- at 16:00 (4 pm) they will let the people with standing places in. people with seated places will get in at 17:00 (5 pm).
- the end of the concert should be at 22:30 (10:30 pm)
- parking around PDP is not allowed 20th - 21st of june

Something to ponder.

I know the resourcefulness of TH fans and I know just how many will be arriving on the 21st. HOW are they expecting fans to start lining up on the day of the gig?

Time to make a plan, ladies...

oww man oww man

How on earth? so if we queue up at 12pm does that count as the same day ? we CAN we start queueing up // riiiggghhhttt .

[Skye.]

yeah but theres going to be some sort of RIOT if th fangirls are fighting over being at the front BEFORE THE QUEUE IS EVEN STARTED
so thats a bit stupid
surely just let whoever gets there be first...
makes sense
erm advice?
ELBOW FANGIRLS OUTTA THE WAY..... ? LOL
erm get there early and lurk in the shadows and then POUNCE into the front
like a small tiger
^^

[xxxnashxxx]

it doesnt make scence becuase its exam time and they know crazy fans will miss exams et to got ot the concert, and i think one nights queueing is ok! but some ppl just take it to the extreme of weeks and they HAVE to stop that its just not sane... but yeah its not gonna be a pretty sight!

[tokiohoteluk]

I think we should get there the day before anyway to be honest. It's not going to stop other fans, I'm sure of it.

Hmm. Well that's shite coz I'm not booking a hotel for Friday night. Hopefully having my mother with me, I won't look like a TH fan LOL.

Seriously though - that's kinda crazy. Well, I suppose we will just lurk until we can queue. Can't imagine what kind of chaos this is gonna be. Aren't there just going be a ton of fans with nowhere to stay, who expected to be camping?

[xxxnashxxx]

I dont see how they can actually stop it :s

[xxxnashxxx]

Maybe its one of those rules that are just there so the venue looks good but they dont actually follow?

[kiri]

i can just imagine TH fans walking in circles around the place like lost tourists for 2-3 days until they're allowed to start lining up!

they're just going to sleep on a bench nearby but not too close and as time to start forming the queue approaches walk by or peek from around a corner somewhere and make a mad dash to the front

[katikus]

i dont understand why they announced this so late
i just had to make bookings at anywhere with a bed
because i planned on sleeping out
And..

if i get arrested or held by police
i most likely will get deported..

not good..

But yeah...
I was wondering if 12.01am counts as the day of the concert
because thats when i will prob be there

[katikus]

oh
with the french police tho

this is something they will probably follow to the edge of reason..
France is the only country ive been to where on the street
apolice officer asked to see my passport.. and
i got asked where i was going
and why i was walking around..

But it may be different with brits tho?
with that whole being part of the eu thing....

[liz]

Trust me, it's no better for British people. My family have had alot to do with the French police and I have nothing pleasant to say about them. Ok, it's only my personal experience, but they were bad enough when they were supposed to be working for us, on our side, so I dread to think what they are like when you're on the recieving end. Gah.

[tokiohoteluk]

Hey guys, it was actually announced on the 6th June, but yeah, still a bit late. I never would have seen it if it hadn't been incorrectly posted on a forum.

Has everyone seen the fan action? I don't know whether to get involved or not...

Claire

[psychichearts]

Oh, the gendarmerie are so officious! it's ridiculous...

What is the fan action?

[liz]

I remember Susi telling me about a couple of fan actions a while ago, but I've never seen anymore about it, and I think they hadn't been finalised at that point.

Where is the info please Claire?
